[The video feed clicks onto the lovely grinning visage of Ixis Naugus, staff in hand, a pile of writing books to one side.]

Fellow Foreigners of Keeliai, I ask that you indulge me in what could be a bit of census-taking!

In the interest of further defending this turtle and those who reside upon it, I wish to know and take note who among us are versed in magicks and similiar abilities. I feel it would suit our collective purpose better to have this information compiled, perhaps look into how our respective crafts interact or can be enhanced. Please, come forward, fellow casters; tell me your name and tell me your arts!

In the interest of fairness and demonstration of goodwill, I will state my own. I am Ixis Naugus and I specialize in, of course, Ixian magicks. The focus of such being the control and transformation of the four elements: air, water, fire and earth. I am a master of all four as well as a fifth of my own making, the transformation of matter into crystals nigh indestructible.

Come forth and make yourselves known, wizard heroes of Tu Vishan!

[Why is it always magic…]

All of you guys need to have a wizard-mage get together. [That might break the turtle, but still- Zatanna backwards magic, Sabriel’s charter magic, Loki’s Asgablahblah; she’s given up on keeping track.

For all she knows, a lot of the magic users might keep away from bending like she does with magic. She shrugs and puts her hand on her cheek.]

Why the four elements? [That list is much smaller with only her, Aang, and Sep. Zatanna might be able to, she’s never asked…]

That is precisely what I am trying to facilitate with this announcement! I believe we would all benefit from networking, to see if there are potential arts that should not be mixed, or some that should. I personally would like to see the differences in casting from one realm to the next.

Why the four elements? Why not the four elements! Mastery of them is the core of my lost sect and I assure you, child, I am a master.

Put on your robe and wizard hat.

Cast magic missile at the gazebo.

I believe you already know my name, and some of what I can do.

Robes are impractical and hats don't fit.

Either way, your jealousy is showing again.

Yes! Ms. Sabriel the necromancer and medium, specializing in glyphs and symbols to cast. Though is there more to your craft than just that? Were that there were anything you'd care to elaborate on.

I'm really not jealous, but you keep on doin' what you doin'.

Likewise. Continue with your sass and general inability to be helpful.

You do realize how freakin' creepy it is to be like "Hey! Here's what I can do! Show me yours now that I've shown you mine!"

No? This is a compiling of information; taking stock of what magical arsenal we have against the unnamed adversary. You know, trying to be proactive in what we can do against him either when the time comes or we formulate a plan of attack.

Do try to keep up. Your lewd childishness is clouding your perception.

Yeah, well, considering the last guy who asked for a census of abilities around here was, oh, I don't know, actively trying to destroy the place, people around here ain't so keen to open their mouths anymore.

I wouldn't call myself a medium, since I don't conduct seances. [Sabriel doesn't bother to correct him about her title- she has no desire to have everyone call her 'Abhorsen', and even if she did, she'd get sick of having to explain what it meant all the time.]

Suffice to say that while I consider myself more than competent in the use of martial magic, it's not what truly interests me.

I assure you and anyone else who can access this conversation, my intentions are pure! What good is it that we are a collective summoned to save this land, only to remain mute on what we are capable of and refuse to collaborate? What if one of us runs afoul of the foe in an unprecedented way? Something one of our magi could purge or control? How will the set-upon turn to help when they know not if help is possible at all?

Unless you are advocating we all act as separate agents with our own plans and agendas, all cards close to the vest even from one another?

[To be completely honest, he doesn't even remember the proper title. It went in one ear and out the other as some nonsense word. Whoops.]

Ah, my mistake. Much in the same I wouldn't care to be called a shaman. I am not in-tune with the elements so much as I manipulate and replicate them.

When do you think would be the best time to consult you? On matters of the dead?

Actions speak louder than words, brosef.

Seriously, never took you for the 'teamwork' type.

What does that even mean. Everyone has all powers and no powers until proven otherwise? We just go about our business until some manner of disaster strikes and we wait to see if someone pipes up about having an ability that can correct it?

I'm not much for teamwork, but I do like knowing what cards are in my deck. That and scholarly interest in what other magi here can do and comparing respective notes.

What it means is you bluster around the place like you're the prettiest pony in the stable, break into my house, and generally behave like a total jerk. So forgive me for not exactly seeing your altruistic and heroic side.

Because you say things like "cards in your deck." Guess what, genius? We're not dancing monkeys here to amuse you, and we're not your cannon fodder, and we're sure as hell not gonna line up and put our necks on your chopping block.

Get it?

Is this really still about your door!?

And fine. Fine. Need I remind you no one is being forced to step forward. This entire idea was something I had spoken with Ms. Sabriel about that she also found appealing and productive. Care to take up this matter with her as well? Either way, pardon me for actually attempting to do something rather than sit on my tail and wait for the next murder or disaster to roll around.

At least I have the ability to do something when that time comes.

It's amazing how you keep speaking after the conversation is over.

[CLICK! Bye Ixis. No more taunting Happy Fun Stiles for you.]

You-...!

[Whups, and there goes the video feed. Naugus hisses to himself in irritation before clicking the same shut on his end.]

Hhhhhhhh...

[Hawke just can't help himself. While he doesn't burst into a fit a giggles, he does give Ixis a solid round of applause for his performance.]

Bravo! Well done. Now how many times did you have to rehearse that to get it just right?

I am theatrical, it has been said, but I am also spontaneous! Right off the cuff, my good man.

We've spoken before, haven't we?

That depends on what it is you wish to know. [And what Sabriel is willing to teach. In her own experience, there are some things people are happier not knowing when it comes to Death and the Dead.]

I suspect you may end up becoming the authority on matters pertaining to the departed, Ms. Sabriel, if no one else comes forward and admits a similiar talent.

Though, for the record, I hope someone does. It seems a lonesome craft, if I may be candid. The dead can't be much for company. And besides, I crave seeing the differences between all our respective crafts from one realm to the next.

I know a thing or two about spells. Always a real delight. Oh! Where are my manners? I am Balthazar and...I'm not really all that sure what sort of elements one would consider what I do to be. I suppose...Holy?

[Or so video games would lead him to believe since he IS an angel.]

And perhaps Time? I also dabble in Enochian which is more runes and such.
